Job description

Mō te tūranga | About the role

Build a solid career in Central Otago, with a crew that has your back season after season.

We’re looking for a Health & Safety Advisor to support our operational teams across Central Otago. This is a predominantly site-based role, with approximately 4 days per week dedicated to site visits across the Central Otago region. You’ll work closely with crews and leaders to strengthen safety culture, lift standards, and help deliver good work safely, on time, and to a high standard.

This is a great opportunity to join a business with real longevity in New Zealand and a region that offers plenty outside of work too. Central Otago gives you the best of both worlds: meaningful work across a stunning part of the country, supportive crews, and a lifestyle with world-class trails, lakes, mountains and outdoor adventure right on your doorstep.
